Hey, I’m Savannah! I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016, and somewhere along the way, it became the love of my life (well, one of them). I’m all about honest storytelling—documenting the real stuff, the in-between moments, the things you didn’t even realize were happening. My style is documentary with a creative edge, and my approach is simple: get to know you, show up with intention, and create photos that feel like you. If you’re into big feelings, warm tones, and someone who will hype you up while also fixing your flyaways, we’ll get along just fine.

Sav was the most amazing photog we could have ever been blessed with for our day! She was so great at capturing what was important to us, from our very unique engagement photos to our whimsical wedding photos. She listened to all of my little details and made everything come to life! She also brought the vibes on wedding day, made sure I wasn’t stressed about time, and made sure my lashes were always glued down and my dress had fashion tape where it was needed. I would recommend her to literally anyone, and hope she can continue to capture all the big moments in my life!

From the moment we first reached out, Amber was fast, personal, and incredibly effective in their communication style. Her passion for their craft was evident in the beautiful photos she captured that truly tell the story of our special day. Amber was our wedding photographer for seven or eight hours, and she made sure we were both feeling comfortable (my husband and I are both incredibly awkward at taking pictures) but she walked us through everything and directed us on where to go and gave us ideas on what to do. We even mentioned to her at one point months later that we were missing a photo that would be important and she ended up finding it for us later - I’m sure that wasn’t easy after looking over photos of pictures and finding one specific one!

Hi!! I'm Jen, the heart and soul behind Jen Marie Imagery! I'm passionate about creating unforgettable memories through my lens. Beyond being a dedicated photographer, I'm a coffee lover, taco enthusiast, concert junkie, Netflix aficionado, and proud pet parent. My journey with photography started as a childhood passion, using up all my mom's film on disposable cameras. What began as a hobby transformed into my life's calling in 2016 when I booked my first wedding. From that moment, I knew I had found my true purpose. There’s nothing I love more than photographing love!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

We were looking for fun, romantic, light & bright photos that are also timeless and true to color, and man did Rich deliver. Communication was amazing- he doesn't take long to respond and is easy to get ahold of. He was so easy to work with from handling a little last minute chaos with engagement photo locations to us replanning our entire wedding within three months. He made sure our engagement and wedding photos went without a hitch. Not only was Rich fun to work with, but he was a fantastic resource and we enjoyed the levity and expertise he brought to every step of the process. Our photos are STUNNING.

Through my love of journalism, I discovered that photography wasn’t just about documenting events—it was about connecting with people, telling stories, and capturing emotion in a way words simply couldn’t. It was during my college years that I also met my husband—we worked together at a coffee shop. Now, years later, we still start our days with a quiet cup of coffee, soaking in those simple, meaningful moments. That’s what I bring into my work as a wedding photographer: a deep appreciation for both the big, emotional milestones and the small, fleeting moments that make your love story yours.

Honey Peak is absolutely the BEST photography out there. We booked them for engagement and wedding photos and I can’t even begin to describe how much I adore them. I haven’t even seen the wedding pictures yet (we got married yesterday lol) but I know I’m going to love them because of how much I loved the engagement session. Blake was our photographer for both, with help from Dalia for wedding night, and he had the most creative ideas for pictures and made everyone in the room feel super comfortable. The pictures are so unique and you can tell how passionate he is about photography, he is absolutely WONDERFUL at his job. He is super attentive and detailed with his work. Whenever we need to get any pictures done, I will 100% go through Honey Peak again no questions asked. 10/10!️

We’re just a few midwest kids who love pursuing lots of fun hobbies and having a good time. On any given day, you could find us reading a book, watching our favorite show, crocheting a blanket or doing a puzzle (or all 4 things at once!). We try not to take ourselves too seriously, we pet every dog we can and we will never give up trying to keep our houseplants alive (emphasis on ‘trying’). We cherish time with our favorite people watching movies or playing board games while eating tacos.

We had the most amazing experience with Swatch from start to finish. Our engagement session was perfect, despite the rainy day. I can’t BEGIN to explain how wonderful our photographer Claire was on our wedding day. The sneak peeks blew our minds and we can’t wait to see the rest of the gallery. HIGHLY recommend!
